What it is

Chicken broth is a liquid made by simmering chicken, bones, and vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery. It is often seasoned with herbs and spices. The resulting liquid is strained to remove solids, creating a flavorful base for many dishes.

Why it's used

Chicken broth is used as a base for soups, stews, sauces, and gravies, adding a savory chicken flavor. It can also be used to cook grains like rice or quinoa, or to braise meats. Manufacturers use it to enhance the overall flavor profile of packaged foods.

Health notes

Chicken broth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and electrolytes like sodium. While generally considered safe, high sodium content in some commercially prepared broths can be a concern for individuals monitoring their intake. JECFA has evaluated chicken broth and determined it is safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
